“Why aren’t you explaining?
Look, the zombies are still rushing in, why aren’t we hurrying onto the bus to escape?” Kang Songde was pleased, thinking Tang Zheng had made a mistake and was conveniently honing in, pressing him step by step in return.
Director Kang has repeatedly challenged Tang Zheng’s authority as a team leader, stirring up the team’s unity and creating fractures of distrust.
It was all to highlight his higher value compared to others, in order to survive in chaos.
Of course, there were certain things he would not dare to do too excessively.
He was able to grasp the scale and seize any opportunity to cause trouble without making Tang Zheng furious.
“Shut up.
Don’t make me repeat myself, or get out of this team now,” Tang Zheng roars before ordering Sophie, who was standing next to him, “Draw away the zombies on the street!”
The appearance of the female musketeer, who wore a gold Venetian mask, instantly intimidated everyone.
In particular, after she blew off the head of a hunter zombie that had rushed from the rear of the team using her silver firearm,
a collective gasp from the crowd could be heard.
Her knee-high boots hit the ground with a clear clacking sound.
Her tight riding pants outlined her perfect leg curvature.
Combined with her short shirt and three-leaf clover leather jacket that accentuated her full chest, this beautiful female musketeer, who appeared to have walked straight out of 18th-century Europe, instantly stole everyone’s gaze.
Just as Kang Songde was about to say something, a bullet whizzing over his head scared him to silence.
Shaking, and without uttering another word, he watched the female musketeer take a few running steps before jumping into the underground parking lot through a hole in the lobby floor.
Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
“Kang Songde, hold your position, and don’t make another mistake,” Tang Zheng warned Director Kang, but remained at his spot.
The zombies in the lobby noticed these intruders and immediately began rushing towards them.
The whole team also burst into action.
The bald man felt less pressure given he was armed with an MG42 machine gun and could basically kill any zombie.
The maintenance worker performed relatively worse.
Despite showing no fear, his firepower was not up to par.
However, with Li Xinlan and Qin Yan backing him up, no big mistakes were made.
“Do you see it now?
If we had entered the lobby just now, our formation would have come under full attack from the zombies.
Now, the flanks and rear of the team are pretty much safe, with the main attack pressure being borne by Tang Zheng and Lin Weiguo.
Could you please think carefully before you offer any suggestions next time?” The bald man spat.
He despised Kang Songde who, though worthless himself, kept pointing out others’ faults.
He’d rather see him dead.
Kang Songde realized his error too.
His face turned hideously awkward, but he quickly recovered and changed the subject, “I wasn’t wrong though.
The zombies’ movements have indeed become faster.”
“More than just a few times faster, their hearing and vision have also become sharper.” Lin Weiguo was not as kind, and scolded, “Can’t you guys be a little bit more alert?
Haven’t you noticed that the number of zombies rushing over from the streets has doubled?”
As if they had noticed the presence of Tang Zheng and others, waves of zombies started to break away from the crowd on the streets and rushed towards the Oasis Hotel lobby.
“Who is that woman?
She looks a lot like the French actress Sophie Marceau?” Zhao Jingye asked with meaningful intention, as he was more interested in finding out what secrets were being concealed by Tang Zheng’s group.
“Why do you care so much?
Just remember, as long as Brother Lin and Little Tang are here, we can survive.
That’s all we need,” Pang Meiqin was already beginning to worship these two individuals.
The advantage before them was entirely created by these two, “Anyone who disturbs Little Tang’s thinking and leadership or criticizes him should just get out of the team.”
Kang Songde’s face alternated between green and white upon hearing these words.
He wished he could slap this woman to death.
“Look quickly!” Bai Guo shouted loudly, pointing at the street outside the hotel.
The crowd of zombies, originally circling the hotel, were disturbed by Sophie and began to run as a group.
The stomping of more than ten thousand feet was deafening.
In less than a minute, they had charged into the underground parking lot under the lobby.
The cacophony of mixed breaths and noises rose wave after wave.
Bai Guo, the absent-minded one, was about to stick her head out to take a look below, but a zombie jumped up from there, giving her quite a start,
Fortunately, Tang Zheng had been watching the hole closely and shifted the muzzle of his MG3 over as soon as half of the zombie appeared, firing off a string of bullets.
The zombie was instantly split in two, rolling down and crashing into other zombies trying to jump up after it.
“Zombies have reached beneath, bad news, they’re trying to jump up.” Xu Lu was startled and scared, and the maintenance worker and the bald man immediately started firing at the hole to suppress the zombies attempting to spring up.
Sophie did a forward somersault jump, then fired her firearm, killing a hunter zombie that was close behind.
“Everyone, stay calm and get on the bus.” Tang Zheng took the lead and ran towards the bus.
Everyone else couldn’t wait and followed suit.
The distance of just over ten meters only took a few seconds.
Tang Zheng reached the side of the bus, but suddenly turned around and stopped at the door.
He didn’t get on, but instead aimed his gun to shoot at the zombies continually breaking into the lobby.
Kang Songde and Zhao Jingye, who were following him, paused and looked at him in surprise.
The others, however, didn’t hesitate and ran onto the bus.
“What happened?” Kang Songde asked, hesitating, not boarding the bus.
Then he quickly realized that he was being overly suspicious, grabbed the handrail, and rushed onto the bus.
“Haha, there are so many weapons here, quickly change my bullet chain.” The bald man entered the carriage, saw the firearms, bullet clips, hand grenades, tactical vests, and bullet-proof vests piled up on the saddle, laughed weirdly, tossed his nearly exhausted MG42 machine gun, replaced it with an M4A1 carbine, and began single-shooting the zombies through the glass.
Lin Weiguo had already sat in the driver’s seat, turned the key, and the engine roared to life.
“You two blockheads, get in the car.
What are you staring at?
Hurry up!
There’s no time.” Tang Zheng, irritated, kicked Kang Songde’s buttocks.
Director Kang, who was stuck in the door, was immediately kicked in, hitting the seat.
“Judging others by your own yardstick.” Pang Meiqin scolded, “Don’t waste time, don’t you think Tang Zheng is busy enough?”
Kang Songde cursed quietly, got up, and occupied a seat.
“Go to the rear to defend, this is not your position.” Li Xinlan warned Kang Songde, then turned to the other flight attendants, “Hurry up and prepare firearms.
Each one takes care of one gunman on a first-come-first-serve basis.”
The stewardesses didn’t argue or complain, they just acted immediately, serving as co-gunners for the men around them.
They had no choice, Tang Zheng’s last-boarding attitude had instantly impressed them.
This was the breadth of mind and spirit a team leader should have.
